Married by Promise

Ice cream

The dawn prayer rang, the cool morning breeze greeted everyone who passed by at that time. The sun had not yet revealed its face, the streets were only illuminated by bright street lights on every street of the capital. Arya who just came out of her bathroom is preparing to go to the mosque for morning prayers.

The clock has been slowly moving towards 6 o'clock, Arya has been preparing her needs for the next 3 days to climb to Semeru, she glanced at her mobile phone with a face of death. ‘he won't call me anymore, will he?’ he hopes Mr. Sarman cancels the planned marriage. And if it continues, he can reason to be climbing Mount Semeru.

Arya then got up, she took some clothes to put in her carrier, her eyes glanced long at the phone, a hunch as if saying that Mr. Sarman will contact her soon. Arya took a deep breath. His heart that was convinced to go to Semeru and cancel the unreasonable marriage was beginning to worry.

Her heart was struck by a sense of indignation and bitterness, Mila cried while in the hospital slipping into her mind without being asked.

Arya took a deep breath, she recalled the times where she promised Mr. Sarman. “are you afraid to promise this old man Arya?” a sentence that forced him to tie a promise with Mr. Sarman without his will. But who would have thought, that sentence also led him to the circumstances that made him at a crossroads like today.

If he chooses to leave, it means he does not keep his promise to Mr. Sarman, but if he accepts, it is the same as he hurt Mila who is clear with his crying does not accept this matchmaking.

‘i may be happy to have a wife like her, beautiful, veiled, and even veiled, like the wife I dreamed of, she said, but clearly her tears yesterday indicated she was not sincere to me’ Arya rubbed her face violently.

His heart seemed to want the marriage to continue, because maybe he did not get a woman like Mila anymore, a woman who in his eyes looks sholeha, but his mind seemed to betray the wishes of his heart. Having a marriage with a girl who does not want it is a disaster where there is no harmony in the household.

‘what could he love me later?, huh, where could it be, who could fall in love with someone like me’ Inner Arya was upset with herself.

A moment of his mind's shadow swept far into the past,

FB

“where are you going?” said a 4-year-old girl at the time,

“I have to go, go away” replied Arya who is 6 years old

“go far? do you want to leave me and never come back?” ask the little girl with her face that makes anyone look at her gem, though,

“I'll be back for you, you're the princess of her” Arya replied as she pinched the little girl's chubby cheeks.

“prince must return to princess, I wait for you to return, do not go long ya” said the little girl innocently.

The fB end

Arya took a deep breath considering the long-ago incident. But the shadow did not disappear from his memory. A promise he always remembered that he could not keep until this very moment. A promise that always overshadowed him and made him afraid to bond again to promises with others.

‘maybe today I have to break the promise again’ Inner Arya. Maybe it was the best option he had right now. Forcing Mila to go through an unwanted marriage would only torture her and Mila herself.

The clock has moved forward to half 9, Arya directly contacted Ari, he opened the chat application on his phone.

‘ready lo?’  arya's chat was sent to Ari's phone, not how long Ari replied to her chat.

‘more minutes I walk’ Arya.

‘hasty rush, I still have breakfast’ Ari

‘gue to your house first, later ready for breakfast we go directly, Tomy also kayak yesterday’ Arya

Ari snorted annoyedly read Arya chat, ‘kalo Tomy come, why also I have to come, damn, I've prepared again’ Inner Ari cursed herself while bribing the fried rice she ate.

‘Semeru will not run, just relax, you want to climb next week Semeru will remain there’ Ari.

Arya snorted annoyedly reading Ari chat, the child was like it had not been sincere to leave that day. Arya then got up to lift her carrier, she put her phone into the left pocket of her pants. Then took the keys of his duck bike and immediately walked out of his cramped rental.

Just as he locked the door, the phone in his pants pocket rang, he then picked up the phone without seeing who called him, because in his mind only Ari would contact him,

“iya, this I already want to walk” said Arya relaxed without burden.

“accadnya at 10, I wait for you now” hoarse voice parents heard across the phone Arya.

“pak, Pak Sarman” said Arya with her romantic fur that began to stand up in shock.

“iya I, who do you think?, come here, all preparations are in order,” said Mr. Sarman with a pressing voice.

Arya momentarily fell silent, her eyes began to glaze over, a feeling of dread and bitterness had already begun to envelop her heart. For a moment he was silent to feel every pain that came out of nowhere, which suddenly made his heart so upset. ‘I have to how now?’ inner Aryan.

His mouth felt stiff to say he was going to climb to Semeru, the reason he had prepared to avoid the marriage.

“you are still there right, come here, do not embarrass me and my grandson” said Mr. Sarman firmly. Arya is still trying to withstand the pain in her heart, “baik” said Arya briefly with a trembling voice. “don't be late” said Mr. Sarman while hanging up the phone.

A single tear escaped from Arya's left eye patch, she then rubbed her face rough to calm herself.The door of the contract was opened again, Arya entered and immediately opened her closet, she said, he picked one of the work coats, shirts and ties in the closet at random.

In a short time, Arya's clothes have been swapped using a blue suit, a white shirt with a red tie. He briefly glazed over and tidied his hair with hair oil.

Arya immediately out of her contract, she momentarily looks at her phone and menchat Ari and Tomy ‘Semeru cancel’ Arya short chat message on Tomy and Ari.

Arya immediately turned on her bike and left immediately. With her heart still pounding, Arya split the streets at a moderate pace.

Ari opened a message from Arya “cancel, damn it, I was ready from night, even arbitrarily in cancel” muttered Ari annoyed, ’lo really yes Rya, he said, for a moment jidat lo aja’ muttered Ari took a deep breath. Ari then calls Arya, but Arya does not pick her up at all. Ari called again and again, but Arya still did not pick him up at all.
